-Started sitting up a couple of weeks ago. It’s wonderful and has helped with his spitting up immensely!
-We cut out his 10 pm dream feed last weekend. Ah, finally! It’s so nice to feed him at around 8 and then put him down for the rest of the night. He sleeps through the night until 7:30 the next morning. (He sometimes needs a binky around 6:30, or a couple times in the night, but I have no complaints!)
-We started solids last week. I tried bananas and avocadoes first, but after several failed attempts with those, I tried rice cereal. He loves it! Now it’s hard to keep the food in his mouth, because he’s so excited about it that he smiles and talks the whole time. It’s adorable, but also a bit frustrating—and very messy!
-With the addition of solids, I’ve also worked at keeping him up a bit longer between each nap. This has helped his naps be longer. Something he’ll nap up to 2 to 2.5 hours—it’s magical! But sometimes, it’s still 45 minutes—not so magical.
-He went to his first Blazer game this week and did great. He spent the whole game staring at the 20-something guys sitting behind us. It was hilarious!
-I had (another) failed swaddle-weaning attempt this month. He has one arm out now. I’ll call that a slight victory.
-I’ve been able to start drinking decaf coffee again without it making Josh fussy. Praise the Lord! Six months without my favorite treat was far too long! I’ve also hit the milestone of 182 days of pumping. Half way there!
-He stills loves to smile at everyone, but isn’t doing great having anyone hold him except Ben and I.
Here’s some pictures of his first solids:
Okay, and now just for kicks: he’s a comparison of Josh, Seth, and Sam at 6 months:
I think S & S have squarer faces and more hair at this age. I also think Josh might have bigger eyes.
Definitely brothers, but maybe not as identical looking as we thought at first. Josh has his own little look, which I love.
